Abstract

The probe-feed cylindrical dielectric resonator antennas (DRA) based on a new magnetodielectric composites Cr0.75Fe1.25O3 (CRFO)/Fe0.5Cu0.75Ti0.75O3 (FCTO) are investigated. The experimental and theoretical characteristics of the antenna like return loss, bandwidth, input impedance, and radiation patterns are in good agreement. Numerical validation is done, tacking into account the air gaps between the dielectric resonator and the metallic conductors. Frequency response bandwidth in the range of 6.6-11.8% was obtained,for frequency operation around 4 GHz. The CRFO-FCTO present a dielectric constant in the range of 8-13 with loss around 10(-3). To summarize, the performance of a cylindrical DRA based in a new matrix CRFO/FCTO was examined. These measurements confirm the potential use of such materials for small DRA.
